Status of Haskell on Windows 11?

#1

I’m trying to decide whether to install Windows 10 or Windows 11. I’m curious how well-supported GHC is on Windows 11, and what is the minimum GHC version required.

I haven’t been able to find much information about this. Windows 11 isn’t listed on the Windows support for GHC page. The only thing I managed to find from a Web search was a YouTube video which is a screen capture of installing GHC on Windows 11 using Chocolatey.

So, apparently GHC at least installs on Windows 11, but there was no discussion of how well-tested it is, or whether there are any known bugs that need to be worked around.

Is there any more information available on this? Thanks!

I’ve been developing on Windows 11 since it came out with both GHC 9.0 and 9.2 and I haven’t had any issues.

I built some dependency-heavy stuff with a fresh ghcup-installed GHC 8.10.

I expect 9.x should work too, but I haven’t tested.

getLine is still broken, whether you’re on 9.22 or 8.10.17, and whether you’re using the standard console emulation mode, or winio.

Using the Haskelline library, though, is a sufficient workaround.

On Windows 11 specifically or on all versions of Windows?
